When this happens I select groups of directories in konqueror and look at 
their size - usually this puts me on the right track.

Apps like k3b and other multimedia apps may create temporary files that 
somehow did not get deleted, and by default my use home as temp directory. An 
old problem was also an app that did *not* start because it wanted to be 
started from the command line and kept forever filing a log file (I think it 
was .xerror or something like this) until the directory was full.
